A Russian court has sentenced 20-year-old Ukrainian citizen Pavlo Hryb to six years in prison on a charge of "promoting terrorism," which he denies.
After the North Caucasus Regional Court in the city of Rostov-on-Don pronounced the verdict and sentence on March 22, Hryb maintained his innocence and announced he was starting a hunger strike to protest the ruling.
"Because I was denied medical treatment while in custody and [Ukrainian Ombudswoman Lyudmyla] Denisova was not allowed to visit me, as well as because of all what is happening, I am starting a hunger strike," Hryb said.
